I felt like blacking out once in the market and it scared me badly. Since then I am nervous to go alone anywhere. What do you do when you feel faint or weak?
Beta dont stay empty stomach for long, that causes most of the dizziness. Keep some nuts or a fruit handy, sip water, and rest in cool shade. If u feel faint, sit at once and lean down. Get iron checked with doctor also.
Dont get up suddenly, stand slowly from lying or sitting. Eat something every few hours so sugar doesnt drop, and keep sipping water. Dont stand too long in one place. These small things stopped my dizzy spells both times.
I get those dizzy moments too and it scared me. My doc said dont stand long, dont go hungry and avoid getting too hot. Sitting down and putting head a bit low helps when it comes. Anyone else feel woozy in crowded places?
I used to feel faint and it turned out my BP and iron were low, so please get those checked. Meanwhile eat small frequent meals, stay hydrated and dont skip breakfast. If u actually faint even once, tell ur gynac right away.
At work I kept snacks and a water bottle at my desk, that made a huge difference to the lightheaded feeling. Avoid skipping meals and standing in long lines. Move slowly when getting up. If it persists definitely get ur iron and BP checked.
